Hey man, your skin is looking great. Congratulations. Have you done anything for your redmarks? they seem to have faded considerably!

5.5 Weeks(38ish days) Alrighty...so I have now been taking 80mg a day for 2 weeks. I can definitely say things were looking up for the first week or so. However, I have had some breakouts this past w...

Week 4.5 Sorry I'm a little late here with this update. I am basically 4 days into week 5. I have now been taking 80mg/day for about 1 week and 2 days. I have definitely gotten drier, but not to the ...

Week 3 Went to the dermatologist today. It looks like this is where things get serious! I am both nervous and a little bit excited. Starting tomorrow I will alternate between 40mg and 80mg on a daily...

Day 15 Sooooo here we go. This is my two week update. Been experiencing an unfortunate breakout on my left cheek. On my right cheek I didn't have anything new for almost a week...until I woke up this...

Damn dude, congratulations. Things seem to be going really well for you. I'm especially interested in your log because you also started off at 20mg for the first month. Do you think this helped in th...

Day 7, 1 Week I'm going to start updating only when I really have something to say. I've found myself on this site too often. I have one Large nodule on my left cheek, and one new whitehead. On my ...

Day 6 Making progress, at least in terms of the number of pills I have left to take! Tomorrow will be one week. It has seemed to drag very slowly. So far, not much different in either direction. I'...

Day 5 Just took pill #6. The minor breakouts I've been having seem to be calming down a little bit. Nothing new today which is nice. I've been staying hydrated. I'm about to go to the gym so I hope t...

Day 4 Took pill #5 today. Definitely getting a break out at this point. I really wish I knew whether it was the accutane starting to work, or just a result of stopping Epiduo and Doxy. Much more str...

, Impact It has really affected my self esteem and i wake up in the morning dreading what i have to deal with today. I dread going outside and facing people or seeing friends. With a trip to the haird...

Day 3 So today is the third day since I took my first accutane pill. I can't wait 'til I can add a zero to the end of that....or two. So far it's been the same old, same old. Surprise, I still have ...

Thanks for the words everybody. It's good to know that not only are there people that have gone all the way through with accutane, but there are people right in the middle and just beginning as well. ...

Thanks SanLosAng, definitely good to hear from someone in the middle of their course. I just read through your log and hope you're getting over the hump! I am pretty well prepared for the mental battl...

Thanks Brownilocks, I also heard that fat and accutane work well together. I read that you are supposed to take accutane with a fatty meal for better absorption. I started avoiding dairy in gener...

Also, if anyone has any info on what my diet should be like while on accutane that would be greatly appreciated!

4) When are results usually seen? The first month? last month? Or are results seen after the treatment? To answer this one, it seems like it's different for everyone. Some people can see results a...

Thanks for the info! I'm thinking I might need to get something thicker eventually.

Hey y'all, I just started a five month course of accutane and will be keeping a log, so check that out if ya want. I've also used epiduo, retin-a, doxycycline and several OTC meds to fight moderat...

Day 0 (1/18/12) Took my first 20mg pill at about 6PM...nothing to report. Day 1 (1/19/12) Not much new today. No new pimples, no improvements. I did notice my legs and scalp were slightly itchy....

Good Luck! I started yesterday!!

Hey man, Looks like were in this together. It definitely seems like you have had a much longer struggle with your acne than I have, but I have tried almost as my different products and regimens, wit...

How's it going everybody? I'm choosing not to share any personal information, but I am a 21 year old male college student starting what I think will be a five month course of prescription accutane, ...
